State approves construction of large Canton solar project

ALBANY, New York (WWNY) – The state has issued a final siting permit for a large solar farm in Canton.

The Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Electric Transmission has given the go-ahead for the Rich Road Solar Energy Center, despite concerns from local officials.

Canton officials are concerned about the project’s aesthetics and economics and the fear of a repeat of a fire at a solar farm near Chaumont last year.

The 240-megawatt solar farm is estimated to provide enough power for 61,000 average-size homes. There will also be a 20-megawatt battery energy storage system.

Projects this large are controlled by the state, so local laws and regulations are superseded.

Construction is expected to begin in 2025 with completion expected in 2027.
